I love how David always returns to earnestly seek God. Whether he’s done something wrong, is at a low point in his life, or wants to sing God’s praises. That should be the life of every follower. I admire him for that. Last evening we finished our life group study of Pilgrim’s Progress by John …
I always feel so encouraged when I read David’s words of faithfulness. Like in today’s passage when he writes, “Teach me Your way, O Lord, And lead me in a smooth path,…” (Psalm 27:11). Twice he says, “Wait on the Lord.” (v. 14). It’s an important reminder especially when we’re suffering. God will “strengthen your …

Even though I knew the Bible tells us to bear fruit, I never thought of my lips bearing fruit, but now–just imagine if we all bore fruit in …

Praise the Lord!Praise God in His sanctuary;Praise Him in His mighty firmament!Praise Him for His mighty acts;Praise Him according to His excellent greatness!Praise …
Jesus taught the disciples how to pray. In Matthew 6:5-8, He tells them not to pray like the hypocrites, aka the Pharisees.
